Small Projects Here and There

Since my last update, I did a few new things here and there and cleaned some things up. The stock turn signals are now completely deleted, and I am running Diode Dynamics' LED switchback C-light as my DRL/turn signal. Quite an impressive product with plenty of brightness. They told me they are releasing a plug-and-play harness for the product and will be sending that to me in the upcoming weeks, so I'm interested to see how much simpler they make the job of wiring the harness. While the headlights were out, I also opted to paint the chrome housings black before I put it all back together. Other than that, I ended up putting a JDM grille into the bumper and threw on a red/black Subaru replacement emblem I had laying around. Still debating on what to with the fog light housing area where the stock turn signals used to sit. I may cut out the entire area, or I may fab up some sort of cover plate to cover it. I've been pretty indecisive lately and brainstorming a million ideas. Still working on the decision factor. I switched up the mounting point for my windshield washer pump and mounted it directly beneath my Killer B dual reservoir for a cleaner, simpler setup. This pretty much involved extending the wires and hose for the pump, and attempting to get a good seal with the pump/grommet under the reservoir. The seal isn't perfect and it leaks a bit of washer fluid here and there, but it'll do for now until I think of a better solution. Also rigged up some Hella Horns so now I have working horns again. I hadn't been running them for a few months since the FMIC forced me to ditch everything that didn't fit. It feels good to be legal and safe again.

I ordered the BB STX 67 stock location turbo from Steam Speed, and have pretty high expectations for when it gets here around May. I also may have a custom exhaust setup coming soon as well. When I go to get retuned, I'll be happy with a conservative powerband around 350hp. Through the tests of time, there are a few people I have observed bending their stock rods when the car starts pushing closer to 400hp. I definitely want to avoid that as I have no intentions of rebuilding the engine anytime soon. I may do a few vinyl accents on the headlights, and I also want my roof wrapped in gloss black. Hopefully all the plans get moving along nicely.
